FC 11's md5sum problem

ic_torres · 10-17-2009, 06:02 PM

hi, i downloaded FC 11 in the FC site, but it was chopped in several days (not downloaded in 1 day), the download was completed, but upon checking the md5sum, its not matched with the md5sum for FC 11's iso in the site;

the md5sum in the site is:

6e812e782e52b536c0307bb26b3c244e1c42b644235f5a4b242786b1ef375358 *Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

from : https://fedoraproject.org/static/che...-i386-CHECKSUM

but upon checking the downloaded file:

root@slackerz:/mnt/winback/DOWNLOADS# md5sum Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso
90c8935a4375c1098d3527ca8bb56202 Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

does this mean, the file i downloaded is not valid?

by the way, i am using slackware 12.0, but used winxp to download the file. . .

I think it is a "Hash: SHA256" an therefore use sha256sum.

See

fedora changed to the 256 bit hash . you will need to check with hashcalc.

i think i do not have the utility :

Code:

root@slackerz:/mnt/winback/DOWNLOADS# sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM
sha256sum: *-CHECKSUM: No such file or directory

i am in the dir where the Fedora image is located. . .

Yes, you have the utility. It's reporting that it can not find the file (glob) you told it to use.

do i need to download a file or utility for this ? i dont want to waste my blank cd just to burn and test this iso if this is ok . . .

o well i can just try this in a VM just to check .. .

I think you are misunderstanding. Remember when you did this?

Just change it to this:

Code:

# sha256sum Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

I agree. The sha256sum does not match. Try downloading it from a different mirror, or use a better download client if you must split it over several days again...

ok thanks for the info. i might try downloading this someday for a day. i will just wait for my free time/day.

thanks again.
